English Grammar Essentials For Learning French

Strong grammar skills make it easier to learn a second language. Learning English grammar will help you get your C.

What you'll learn

Learn FRENCH better by understanding English Grammar. If you don't know what a direct object is, it will be harder to conjugate 'complement object direct'.

Learn how English and French grammar are the same and how they are different. MOST of the grammar is the same.

The fastest way to improve your French grammar score is to increase your overall grammar skills.

Learn how to visualize the connections between words in a sentence. Once you understand 'sentence structure' you will never look at a sentence the same way.

Requirements

No previous grammar knowledge is required.
